Mauritius Rights Body Calls for Marriage Equality
Mauritius's national human rights body has publicly called for the legalisation of same-sex marriage, urging the country to extend marriage equality to same-sex couples. Human Rights Watch has highlighted the call, drawing attention to it internationally. The appeal puts Mauritius among a small group of African nations where official or rights bodies have backed marriage equality, a move likely to spark debate in a region where same-sex marriage remains widely illegal.
Why now: An official rights body in an African country publicly endorsing same-sex marriage is rare and challenges prevailing laws across the region.
